One recent Deadspin article that I immediately emailed to my brothers was This Might've Been The Ugliest Inning In MLB History.

" In last night's Blue Jays-Twins game, three Toronto relievers combined to bring you this disgusting eighth inning: walk, walk, sac bunt, walk, wild pitch, walk and wild pitch, stolen base, walk and wild pitch, stolen base, walk, walk, single, walk, strikeout, groundout. It was remarkable, really.

If you're keeping score, that's six runs on one hit, with eight walks sprinkled in. The 12 batters that came to the plate swung a total of 10 times. Of the seven times ball met bat in the inning, three were on bunt attempts.

I saw that, hilarious! Reminds me of the Red Sox bullpen during the early 1980s.

For the record, that was in the second game of a double-header on Thursday, April 17, 2014. Eight walks in one inning was the most ever for a Twins team.
